I light a candle for you tonight, yeah
Said I reminisce on you, babe
Reminisce on you
Yeah, listen

Should've spend more time, been a part of your life
And made you more part of mine, guess, it's too late now
I should've been a better friend
I done my best to understand you
Still it's hard to think that we're done, we through

Now what would you do, tell me if I left you out of the blue
Would you fight back tears
while your heart gets torn to pieces?
'Cause that what I did when you left me out of the blue
Love can feel so good and then suddenly it's over, yeah

I should've been more true, taking better care of you
Like I was supposed to, guess, it's too late now
I should've told you how I felt
instead of thinking of myself
Still I can't believe you went away so soon

Now what would you do if I left you out of the blue?
Would you fight back tears
while your heart gets torn to pieces?
'Cause that's what I did when you
when you left me out of the blue
It's funny how love feels good and then suddenly it's over

Now when I ask myself, it's hard to see
How you can be anywhere but here with me
You said that you needed space and time
So you would be able to make up your mind
You said if I set you free one day
You'll be ready to come back to me
Did you really mean it?
I hope you did, hope you meant it, babe

Now what would you do if I left you out of the blue?
If I left you out of the blue
would you lose your mind and go crazy?
'Cause I almost died when you left me
when you left me out of the blue
Love can feel so good and then suddenly it's over

So what would you do if out of the blue? I just left you
Would it make you cry, keep you away tonight
Would it leave your heart sick and lonely?
'Cause that's what you did baby
when you left me out of the blue
It's funny how love feels so good
and then suddenly it's over

That's right, I light a candle for you tonight, babe
Yes I will, yes I will, 'cause I'm missing you
So I light a candle for you, baby, for us, for me and you
